FS 2004 DOES NOT count. Sorry.
What we are looking at here is what is known as a Flight Navigation Procedures Trainer or FNPT device.
At our end of the aviation spectrum whilst the overall cost can seem , and indeed is expensive, flight simulation costs either the same or sometimes more. Even if there is little difference in price, because the difference is so small, you are better just doing your flying in a real plane.
At the airline end of things, the simulators are a lot cheaper, and can reproduce emergiencies that you really wouldn't want to carry out in $30million of plane, at our end of things a small trainer can be bought for about £20K. Small fry in comparison. Thta's why we really don't use simulators in general aviation
